How to Learn Faster,
Deeper, and Better

For Teachers, Tutors,
and Parents

Be engaged.
Surprise. Sometimes
students are bored
because they know
more than is being
taught, maybe even
more than a teacher.
(Hopefully teachers
will assess what
each student already
knows.) Students
should discuss with
a teacher if they
feel that the
material being
covered is not
challenging. Also
consider asking for
additional
materials.

Teach
yourself.
Teachers cannot
always change their
curricula. If you're
not being
challenged,
challenge yourself.
Some countries still
apply country-wide
exams for all
students. If your
lecturer didn't
cover a topic, you
should learn it on
your own. Don't wait
for someone to teach
you. Lectures are
most effective when
you've
pre-introduced
yourself to
concepts.

Collaborate.
If studying by
yourself isn't
working, maybe a
study group will
help.

Do unto
others: teach
something.
The best way to
learn something
better is to teach
it to someone else.
It forces you to
learn, if you are
motivated enough to
share your
knowledge.

Write about
it. An
effective way to
"teach" something is
to create an
FAQ or a
wiki containing
everything you know
about a topic. Or
blog about the
topic. Doing so
helps you to realize
what you know and
more importantly
what you don't. You
don't even have to
spend money if you
grab a freebie
account with
Typepad,
Wordpress, or
Blogger.

Learn by
experience.
Pretty obvious,
right? It means put
in the necessary
time. An expert is
often defined as
someone who has put
in 10,000 hours into
some experience or
endeavor. That's
approximately 5
years of 40 hours
per week, every
week. Are you an
expert without
realizing it? If
you're not, do you
have the
dedication to be an
expert?

Quiz
yourself.
Testing what you've
learned will
reinforce the
information. Flash
cards are one of the
best ways, and are
not just for kids.

Learn the
right things first.
Learn the basics.
Case in point: a
frustrating way to
learn a new language
is to learn grammar
and spelling and
sentence constructs
first. This is not
the way a baby
learns a language,
and there's no
reason why an adult
or young adult has
to start
differently, despite
"expert" opinion.
Try for yourself and
see the difference.

Plan your
learning.
If you have a
long-term plan to
learn something,
then to quote Led
Zeppelin, "There are
two paths you can go
by." You can take a
haphazard approach
to learning, or you
can put in a bit of
planning and find an
optimum path.
Plan your time
and
balance your
learning and living.

Self-Motivation Techniques

Give yourself credit. Ideas are actually a dime a dozen. If you learn to focus your mind on what results you want to achieve, you'll recognize the good ideas. Your mind will become a filter for them, which will motivate you to learn more.

Motivate yourself. Why do you want to learn something? What do want to achieve through learning? If you don't know why you want to learn, then distractions will be far more enticing.

Set a goal. W. Clement Stone once said "Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve." It's an amazing phenomenon in goal achievement. Prepare yourself by whatever means necessary, and hurdles will seem surmountable. Anyone who has experienced this phenomenon understands its validity.

Think positive. There's no point in setting learning goals for yourself if you don't have any faith in your ability to learn.

Organize, part 2. Learning is only one facet of the average adult's daily life. You need to organize your time and tasks else you might find it difficult to fit time in for learning. Try Neptune for a browser-based application for "getting things done."

Every skill is learned. With the exception of bodily functions, every skill in life is learned. Generally speaking, if one person can learn something, so can you. It may take you more effort, but if you've set a believable goal, it's likely an achievable goal.

Prepare yourself for learning. Thinking positive isn't sufficient for successfully achieving goals. This is especially important if you are an adult, as you'll probably have many distractions surrounding your daily life. Implement ways to reduce distractions, at least for a few hours at a time, else learning will become a frustrating experience.

Prepare yourself, part 2. Human nature is such that not everyone in your life will be a well-wisher in your self-improvement and learning plans. They may intentionally or subconsciously distract you from your goal. If you have classes to attend after work, make sure that work colleagues know this, that you are unable to work late. Diplomacy works best if you think your boss is intentionally giving you work on the days he/she knows you have to leave. Reschedule lectures to a later time slot if possible/ necessary.

Constrain yourself. Most people need structure in their lives. Freedom is sometimes a scary thing. It's like chaos. But even chaos has order within. By constraining yourself — say giving yourself deadlines, limiting your time on an idea in some manner, or limiting the tools you are working with — you can often accomplish more in less time.

PUTRAJAYA: Pupils'
performance in this year's Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah
Rendah (UPSR) saw a 0.02 point decrease in the
Average National Grade (GPN). Education
director-general Datuk Seri Dr Khair Mohamad Yusof
said the GPN decreased from 2.27 (2013) to 2.29 but
it should be looked at positively. However, he said
this year’s GPN was better against 2011 (2.30) and
2012 (2.31).

The
GPN and the Average Subject Grade (GPMP) which gauge
candidates' performance in specific subjects,
operate on a decreasing scale where a lower index
value indicates better candidate achievement.

He
added that the percentage of candidates who scored
below the required minimum achievement (all Ds or Es
or a combination of both grades) decreased by 0.49
per cent, from 3.36 per cent in 2013 to 2.87 per
cent this year.

A
total of 36,304 pupils scored straight As compared
to 42,646 last year, Khair said when announcing the
UPSR results analysis here today.Despite this, five
subjects, including English and Bahasa Melayu (Penulisan)
saw an increase in GPMP.A total of 478,848 Year Six
pupils nationwide sat for the examination from Sept
9 to 11.

PUTRAJAYA,
Nov 26 (Bernama) -- The overall performance of
the 2014 Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR)
candidates saw a 0.02 decline in Average
National Grade (GPN) with GPN of 2.29 this year
compared to 2.27 in 2013.

Education director-general Datuk Seri Dr Khair
Mohamad Yusof said in spite of the decline, the
GPN this year was much better than in 2011 which
registered 2.3 points and 2.31 points in 2012
and this should be viewed positively.

A
smaller GPN value shows better performance by
candidates. Khair said 36,304 candidates or 7.89
per cent of the 460,407 candidates who sat for
the examination scored straight A's this year.

"This shows a drop of 1.26 per cent compared to
2013, where 42,646 candidates excelled in all
subjects," he said in announcing the UPSR result
analysis at the ministry, here, today.

In SARAWAK, 1,862 candidates scored
straight A's, a decline of 0.08 per cent from

In TERENGGANU, Education Department
Assessment and Evaluation Sector head, Mohammed
Embong said the state's GPN increased by 0.06

2.29 points.

However the number of students who scored A's in
all subjects decreased by 1.90 per cent or 476
candidates compared to last year.

This year, only 2,563 or 12.10 per cent of the
total 21,099 students scored straight As
compared to 3,039 students last year, he said
when announcing the UPSR result analysis at the
Education Department in Kuala Terengganu today.

"Based on the analysis, the main factor for
lesser students scoring straight As was their
performance in the Science subject, where 1,286
students or 55.70 per cent scored 4A 1B as they
only managed a B in Science.

"Nevertheless, the UPSR results this year are
the best achievement in 14 years in terms of
good scores with minimum of Grade C for all
subjects and an increase in GPN," he said.

In PERAK, 2,847 candidates or 7.6 per
cent of the 37,479 who sat for the UPSR scored A
in all subjects this year.

State Education director Mohd Idris Ramli said
the percentage of candidates achieving excellent
results, however, saw a slight decrease compared
to 8.49 per cent last year.

In NEGERI SEMBILAN, 1,833 or 10.5 per
cent of the 17.510 UPSR candidates achieved the
excellent score of 5A's or 7A's. State Education
deputy director Pkharuddin Ghazali said in terms
of scoring all A's, the gap between urban and
rural students decreased from 4.4 per cent to
3.5 per cent.

performance in the UPSR this year when the state
attained a GPN of 2.16 points, better than the
national GPN of 2.29 points.

Aziz Abdullah said the state GPN remained the
same as last year's.

all subjects, he said in Kota Bharu today.

In SELANGOR, only 6,593 candidates or
7.76 per cent of the total of 85,392 scored A in
all subjects, a drop of 1.63 per cent over last
year's figure.

According to state Education director Zainuren
Mohd Nor, 7,914 candidates excelled in all
subjects last year.

He said the state's average grade showed a 0.04
per cent increase with an achievement of 2.22
this year compared to 2.18 points last year.

In SABAH, 1,231 of the 44,427 candidates
were tops in the UPSR, an increase of 0.14 per
cent over last year's achievement.

State Education director, Datuk Jame Alip said
in terms of GPN, Sabah registered an improvement
with 2.71 points, compared to 2.76 last year and
this was the best attained in five years.

In JOHOR, there was a drop of 1.12 per
cent in the number of candidates with straight
A's, to 4,811 this year from 5,533 last year.

In KUALA LUMPUR, the number of students
with excellent results this year decreased by
1.88 per cent with only 1,681 candidates

of the 34,623 UPSR candidates obtained Grade A
in all subjects.

State Education director, Datin Azuyah Hassan
said the state's average grade, however,
declined to 29.2 points from 27.2 last year.

The overall passes for rural schools was 65.74
per cent and for urban schools, it was 75.29 per
cent, showing a narrowing in gap between rural
and urban schools in the state.

In MELAKA, there was a slight drop in the
overall UPSR performance when it registered a
GPN of 2.15 compared to 2.13 points last year,
said Melaka Education director Datuk Md Rashid
Hussin.

He said the number of top UPSR candidates also
dropped to 9.21 per cent, with only 1,242 out of
the 13,714 candidates scoring A in all subjects.

Last year, 10.4 per cent or 1,443 of the 13,917
candidates scored all A's.

cent of the total of 24,491 scored excellent
results, a drop of 1.92 per cent compared to
last year, said state Education Assessment and
Examination Sector head, Mohd Razali Mustafar.

The drop was due to students' performance in the
Science subject which was quite difficult and
required a high-level thinking skill, he said.
